Married at First Sight's Decision Day featured Paige Banks and Chris Williams each having an emotional breakdown during an intense six-hour meeting with the experts, Haley Harris and Jacob Harder pointing the finger at each other, and three couples staying together during the Season 12 finale that aired Wednesday night on Lifetime.

The three couples who chose to stay married on Decision Day, which occurred after eight weeks of the experiment, were Clara Berghaus and Ryan Oubre, Erik Lake and Virginia Coombs, and Briana Myles and Vincent Morales.

But Paige decided to end her marriage even though Chris entered Decision Day "undecided," and Haley and Jacob also opted to get a divorce when meeting with Married at First Sight experts Pastor Calvin Roberson, Dr. Pepper Schwartz and Dr. Viviana Coles.

Afterward, however, Paige also left the door open to be being more than just friends with Chris -- leaving the confusing MAFS couple's future still unclear.

Heading into Decision Day -- after each couple was asked to sleep in different places -- Ryan admitted Clara is gorgeous and never made him question how she's feeling, but he said he was "weighing all options" about whether to continue their marriage.

Clara, however, seemed head-over-heels in love with her husband. Clara seemed nervous because she wasn't 100 percent sure of what Ryan was going to say.

When sitting down with the experts, Ryan said the process had been very "introspective" for him and Clara revealed she and Ryan had been "a really good fit."

Given both Ryan and Clara have alpha personalities and Clara has "some spice" to her, Ryan said they both liked being right and so he had to learn how to effectively communicate with her.

Clara shared that she was willing to wait a couple of months to have sex with Ryan for the first time and it's not a hill she was "willing to die on" since they'd hopefully be married for the rest of their lives.

Ryan also confirmed falling in love is "a work in progress" for him and love will develop with trust as Clara chips away at his walls.

Clara then told Ryan that he had become her best friend whom she could talk to about anything.

"You are by far my healthiest relationship... and it's kind of weird, I can't picture my life without you. I feel like we are meant to be, and I think that you are the best husband I've ever had -- and hopefully the only one I'll ever have. I want to stay married," Clara shared.

Ryan, in turn, told Clara that she had managed to get in his brain with a lot of patience, understanding and commitment.

"I would for sure say, Clara, I 150 percent want to stay married to you," Ryan noted, before Clara kissed him.

Clara said she couldn't wait to continue the rest of her life with Ryan and start the next chapter of their relationship.

It then became time for Haley and Jacob's final decision. Haley called Jacob "quirky" with "interesting eating habits" -- red meat and eggs -- but also "opinionated and stubborn." She said they didn't have much in common.

Jacob complimented Haley on being smart, outgoing and strong-willed although they're very different.

When they met with the experts, Haley admitted Jacob wasn't her "typical type" but they had a "great" wedding day. Haley said she learned so much about communication and expressing her feelings, and Jacob shared how he had practiced "patience under pressure."

Haley said Jacob projected his past-relationship failures onto her during their first week of marriage, and Jacob explained that he tried to give Haley the space her family suggested she needed at times.

"It came across as there wasn't any effort, and I didn't know how to voice that," Haley said.

Jacob said he never intended for Haley to feel that way and his intention was actually "the opposite" of not putting effort in.

Jacob insisted he came at Haley at a different angle every single day, but Haley said Jacob wanted to have the same conversation over and over again about what was missing in their relationship and whether she was attracted to him.

Haley complained their conversations were too heavy and dragged her down, but Jacob argued he only mentioned the attraction issue and what was missing in their relationship once.

Pastor Cal asked Jacob what he would say if Haley wanted to stay married and try to work things out, and Jacob replied, "I would say, 'We had eight weeks to try and I don't know if we ever really did. That's what I would say."

Haley said she put in all the effort that she had to give and if she tried to stick things out with Jacob, she would be "settling for just a marriage."

"Our perspectives are just completely different and we never got to that point of having a connection or moving past any of the arguments that we had, so I would like to get divorced," Haley announced.

Pastor Cal pointed out that sometimes two great people simply don't make a great couple.

Haley lamented about having a failed marriage, saying she didn't expect to leave Married at First Sight single, but she was apparently looking forward to the future and finding her perfect match.

"I've taken a few kicks to the d-ck in life but I'm nothing but optimistic and hopeful," Jacob said in a confessional after the meeting.

Chris and Paige's Decision Day was up next.

Paige said there were times when she could see some good in Chris but they were overshadowed by his "duplicitous and erratic behaviors." She said Chris always left her feeling "confused and rejected."
